The kind of book I would want to own!

Mirrored Dreams is finally here! (Almost)

Hey readers,

tomorrow is the day: Mirrored Dreams will be released on Kickstarter.

Dominik Gümbel

and I worked well over a year on this book, 11 artists joined us to make this over 230 pages big and full of art and stories about your Dreams and Nightmares!

And now we’re asking for support and financial backing to make this happen. The campaign will start at 6 PM CET (exactly 24h from when I’m sending this). Our minimum goal will be 5,000 EUR to make a production possible at all. Everything on top will go primarily to the artists.

I’m full of anticipation, naturally quite nervous, but above all really proud of what we created together. It’s a book that I would love to own and read myself, and that was my personal main goal when we started working on Mirrored Dreams.

We’ve got a couple really beautiful specials for the print enthusiasts of you in the campaign, and I’d like to share some new work of mine that will be available:

Early Bird Special

Early support means a lot to us as it helps us to plan ahead and creates visibility for "Mirrored Dreams". As a special reward, everyone who backs our project within the first 24 hours gets an exclusive sticker sheet for free! Illustrated by me, and not available anywhere afterwards!

Collector’s Edition Risography Prints

The Collector’s Edition Box will include a signed book by Dominik and me, lots of printed items, and two Risography prints (limited to 60 prints). The print artworks are big versions (DIN A3) of pages from the book, and I’d like to present mine to you:

For super special supporters, we are also opening up 10 mini-commission slots. The unique part is that these will be printed into the books, hidden in different spots. More on the campaign page tomorrow!

Help, I can’t use Kickstarter!

I know some of you don’t use Kickstarter, or don’t have a credit card to back a campaign. We came up with an alternative solution where you’ll be able to preorder using Paypal or other methods. I’ll share more details with you tomorrow!

Important for those of you who are not familiar with the Kickstarter system: if the funding goal won’t be met, you do NOT have to pay anything. Same goes for our alternative preorder.

Sign up to our Kickstarter page to get a notification once the campaign goes live!

If you have any questions about how this all works, about the book, or anything at all, simply write a comment on Substack, or reply to this mail!

Finally, I know lots of you guys out there would probably love to support us, but don’t have the budget right now. I just wanted to say that I appreciate simple shares, comments and likes of everyone A LOT as well - so if you’d like to help us on this non-monetary way, feel free to check out what we got over at our Instagram account! :)

Thanks & Cheers 💜
